The Whisperers: Private Investigator Charlie Parker hunts evil in the ninth book in the globally bestselling series (Charlie Parker Thriller)
John Connolly
EVIL TAKES MANY FORMS.
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR CHARLIE PARKER HUNTS THEM ALL.
The border between Maine and Canada is porous. Anything can be smuggled across it: drugs, cash, weapons, people.
Now a group of disenchanted former soldiers has begun its own smuggling operation, and what is being moved is infinitely stranger and more terrifying than anyone can imagine. Anyone, that is, except private detective Charlie Parker, who has his own intimate knowledge of the darkness in men's hearts.
But the soldiers' actions have attracted the attention of the reclusive Herod, a man with a taste for the strange. And where Herod goes, so too does the shadowy figure that he calls the Captain. If he is to try to defeat them, Parker must form an uneasy alliance with a man he fears more than any other, the killer known as the Collector . . .
From the number one Sunday Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author John Connolly comes the most compelling and unsettling Charlie Parker thriller yet.
The Charlie Parker novels can be read and enjoyed in any order. The Whisperers is the ninth book in this globally bestselling series.

Another creepy thriller from a modern master.
Daily Mirror
Another creepy thriller from a modern master.
Daily Mirror
This is one of Connolly's darker, scarier novels, all the more effective for the way the supernatural elements arise organically out of the realistic detail
Guardian
Connolly subtly combines the supernatural with the traditional crime story to superb effect. And in Herod, a man being eaten by cancer, he may have created his creepiest villain yet.
Sun
As ever with Connolly, the macabre narrative is couched in prose that is often allusive and poetic.
Barry Forshaw, Independent
His latest plot is a clever mixture of quest and chase, written in prose that unfolds at warp speed
Observer
Supernatural thriller by Dublin's finest.
